Automator is an application developed by Apple for OS X that implements point-and-click (or drag and drop) creation of workflows for automating repetitive tasks into batches for quicker alteration, thus saving time and effort over human intervention to manually change each file separately.
Automator enables the repetition of tasks across a wide variety of programs, including the Finder, the Safari web browser, iCal/Calendar, Address Book/Contacts and others. It can also work with third-party applications such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop or Pixelmator.
